Why are the ECNL parents/coaches so insecure?

No insecurity bro. All I care about is what's best for my kid, no the patch on her jersey. That means best coaching, best fit, best teammates and competition for her. Everyone's options vary by location

It's true. There were some kids from a specific Ecnl team that were going to leave but found out they couldnt get spots on a certain OYSA A team this year..
The truth is a much different story then what you are told by cu and fc coaches.

ECNL parents as well as any parents that spend thousands of dollars on soccer or any sport where they hope that their daughter will be viewed as unique, get their feathers ruffled when a competitor makes them closer to ordinary. In this case GDA offers a good opportunity to get similar exposure, more training, better facilities, at a discounted price. While the arguments against the GDA are flimsy, they are also easily dispelled by a tiny bit of research. First, ECNL honks (parents/coaches/admins posting in here) want to argue that GDA promotes the pro path rather than the college path. The truth is that GDA college D1 commits outpaced the most recent ECNL commits and when you look at the lists in totality, you will see that overall there were more D1/D2/D3/NAIA GDA commits than either ECNL team (most recent 7th GDA player committed to UofP). Once this fact is established, the argument then shifts to the quality of the colleges or that some of the GDA commits were once with ECNL. Again, you can see that the D1 colleges are similar in quality. The players that switched from ECNL to GDA are no different than players who switch from OYSA to ECNL. The argument then trickles down to the academic schools ECNL recruits are commited to (Swarthmore/G-Town) which is actually more impressive IMHO than playing for most of the D1 schools. The point that I am getting at is that GDA is putting girls in position to continue their soccer aspirations, go to good schools, while providing a good option to ECNL. It may make the ECNL parents unhappy because they realize that they are getting less for their $ by comparison, but it does not diminish their kids accomplishments. For ECNL honks to come onto these forums and trash GDA for the reasons listed above, definitely shows insecurity.

Let’s not knock different options. All have strengths and weaknesses. See which fits your needs.

Not insecure at all, we just have the financial means to provide our kids with a true national league experience and you don’t. Should have stayed in school or worked a bit harder then you wouldn’t have to settle for less. Hate away!
